- Evergreens are a must-have when it comes to gardening, Not only do they provide greenery throughout the year, but some also have interesting features that can really wow onlookers. If you're looking for an eye-catching addition to your garden, be sure to consider evergreens with unique characteristics! In this video we'll take a look at some great varieties.
Incredible display sir!
Wow your conifers are absolutely stunning. I’m totally inspired to start collecting more for my garden here in Southern Sweden 🇸🇪. Thanks for the tour 👍🏽🌲🌳
That Colorado weeping blue 😯😍😍😍💙💙💙💚💚💚
I really enjoy your easy going demeanor. If possible, could you please add the “planting zones” on the screen or verbally? Again, I really liked your video!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Great suggestion on zones. I will start working them into future videos.
Just google the names. At least he gives you the scientific name with cultivars.
@@msturn1975 you know how {most} EVERYONE wants {EVERYTHING} handed to them now-a-days! PURE LAZINESS in the Human Race! This man has ENOUGH to do! I don’t understand why people can’t just appreciate what they GIVE us!?? I APPRECIATE the persons time! They DO have a LIFE outside of this. . .

I am so glad I found your channel this morning! What a great garden and evergreen collection.
Way to go. Some good stuff growing there.
What an absolutely beautiful collection sir! I have been wanting to convert my backyard into a conifer garden for 3 years & seeing your mature specimens is pushing me even closer! Love it all!
I’m putting together a video of some favorite Arborvitaes. I think you’ll like it. Thanks for the nice comments!
Wow! Your lodge pine is absolutely gorgeous! I planted a small one about 4 feet tall this spring.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I'm a new gardener and am just starting to open my eyes to the wonderful world of conifers. This video is giving me some great ideas for interesting specimens to add to my small garden!
Nice garden, love the stones and Garden Arts too
Love your garden. Truely inspiring. Starting to landscape my back yard in my northwest MN zone 3 home.
Wow indeed! What a great looking yard. A specimen that I think you might like is a weeping yellow spruce called "gold drift" I planted 5 of them this spring and love them. Hopefully they make it through my zone 3 winter.
I actually had one for a couple of years but it fizzled out. I put the upright Scotch Pine I mentioned in the video, in its place. I’ve struggled with the yellow Norway spruce group. I have “The Limey” hanging in there. I’ll have to try a Gold Drift again in a different location. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing. What an amazing yard.. impressed.
Love Colorado spruce, but they do terribly here, I’m more east of you, so they get so many diseases and needle cast is a big one, Norway spruce don’t often receive dieback here, I think they just need some humidity😊
Sir, your garden is amazing! Such a pleasure to watch your videos!
Beautiful sanctuary!
Wonderful video, very informative! I now have 12 more ‘wants’ on my tree list. Just have to research to see what will grow in my hot, humid zone 7!
your Garden looks amazing, so inspirational ❤️
We are planning to include some trees in our Garden this autumn, im wondering if we can find some of those trees here in Germany.
Very informative and beautiful evergreens! Thanks for sharing with us!
You have an amazing garden. Love watching your videos.
Very nice sharing 👍
Thanks teacher!
Awesome collection! Love your garden ❤
What an incredible garden. I actually thought it's an arboretum at first. I am putting in several areas in my yard using conifers, you showcasing your mature plants is very helpful. Thank you.
Excellent content, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent!!! Please sending us great information.
that’s beautiful!
Awesome four season interest.
THANK YOU!!!!
I'll take one of each! Where I'd put them, I don't know. Just beautiful and done so tasteful!
Sharing w my friends!
lovely collection! i have most of these but in small pots currently. have been looking for a bigger place like yours where i can grow my collection. luv larches. other ones that are gorgeous are bald cypress, western hemlock, coastal redwood, ... conifers are so fascinating.
Good video, thank you for the insight
You could do a baseless pot so the roots grow down and into the ground.
I just planted a weeping white spruce about 30" tall and can't wait to see it that tall. How much growth would you say it produces per year? I also added a Thunderhead black japanese pine along with a Silveray pine that are about 5.5' tall.
About 6 to 8 inches per year is average.
I am trying to find out what tree I saw in North Carolina. It looks like a mix between a weeping Norway and a Blue Spruce-maybe a regular Norway? This tree was gorgeous! It had long heavy limbs with beautiful needles that reminded me of a Frasier fir was a giant and weeping
Probably the pendula variety of cedrus atlantica, spruces and firs aren’t very easy to grow in North Carolina (excluding mountainous areas) because of the heat and humidity
What is a good tall narrow specimen that can handle zone 8 summers? I'd move to the north just to grow more conifers, but the Mrs. doesn't like the snow. Looks like I'll have to be happy with pine trees for the foreseeable future.
Taylor Juniper is listed for zones 3-9. I’d try that one.
How do you overwinter the weeping Alaskan cedar? Do you move the whole metal container, or remove it from the container?
The Alaskan Weeping Cedar is still in its original nursery pot and has just been placed in the metal container (it is filled with soil to keep it from blowing over and creating the elevated height needed). I pull it out and put it under a couple of tarps for the winter months to protect the roots. Here’s a video I did a while back that takes a look at the process:

Sorry I didn’t catch what zone you are….. beautiful specimens
We are considered zone 4, but we seem to lose our fair share of perennials on “test” winters, so probably somewhere between 3 and 4.
Question on your Sester...have you ever pruned it at all?
No, I have not touched it.
What is the tree behind the little tree that the deer hurt? That’s what I’m looking for!
I did not plant the back drop tree you are looking at, and it has a little bit more loose habit than normal for a Colorado Spruce, but I’m still pretty confident that is what it is. Picea pungens
In in norway they get big like REALY big easily 100 feet and they easily grow 4 feet a year and they self seed. In norway most forest's consist of norwegian spurce beacuse they out compete most other trees. in norway kids like to eat the new yellow shots, eat them before they get to hard, the shots have a bitter/Intresting taste
Did your weeping white spruce bend over at all? I have had 3 planted for 2 years now and after the first year 2 of the 3 bent over at the tops almost parallel to the ground and I’m afraid they won’t grow up but down now.
I have three and they have all remained upright. Perhaps the two were mislabeled. It sounds like they are acting more like the Norway Weeping Spruce.
@@gardenhike thanks for the response. Two weeks ago I pulled away some of the clay topsoil in the bed and laid out compost and biotone. Just checked them again and it looks as though they’re straightening up some. The worst one is mostly in shade and it’s just the top foot that’s curved like an upside down J pointing down. The straightest one gets the most sun so I’m wondering if that’s playing a role.
It is gorgeous!!!!! One correction: it is not Eyetalian ( talking about cypress) because eyetalians come from eyetaly……. It’s Italians…… we come from italy 😂😂😂😂😂. Thank you for the great video!
It took me a little while to catch on here (I’m a little slow on the uptake, my wife is used to it😊). I thought maybe the captions were spelling Italian wrong…….I will make you proud the next time I reference Italy with my pronunciation 🤓. Thanks for making me laugh! Cheers!
@@gardenhike 😂😂😂😂 I say this to everyone and we all have a big laugh so I am glad you took it with the humor that was meant! 🇮🇹👁️😂😂
What zone are you in?
Zone 4 on the maps, but I would say somewhere in the middle between 3 & 4.
Eden eden eden bravo super beautiful man! Bravo! România zona 6. You? Zona?
Zone 3-4
I wish very would have told us where you are and what zone it is
Great Plains of the U.S., Zone 4
@@gardenhike Thanks!
Aitalian?!
How can I nurture my sky pencil holly shrubs after my horse and my mule ate the tops off? I came home from work today and they ate 1/4 to 2/3 of each of my seven plants in my front yard. I bought these because the horticulturist said horses don’t like this shrub 🥲
Sorry, I don’t have an answer for you as Holly is not hardy in my area so I have never grown it.
